Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart

You all know I have a love affair with cinnamon rolls.  I’m constantly trying to find new and different things to do with them.  My go-to is my homemade Clone of a Cinnabon recipe.  Honestly, it can’t be beat- but it’s time consuming.  It is at least a two hour process. This recipe, however, is… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart

5 Ingredient, 5 MINUTE Apple Tart

You guys.  This is one of the best desserts I have ever made, and you know I don’t say that lightly.  It was perfection.  The buttery flaky puff pastry.  The sweet brown sugar and cinnamon mixed with the tart granny smith apples.  It could not have been better balanced or more delicious.  And I slaved… Continue reading 5 Ingredient, 5 MINUTE Apple Tart

Pumpkin Pies in a Muffin Tin

I’ve been wanting to do this since I discovered Pinterest a few years ago, but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.  I was really wanting pumpkin pie a couple of days ago, so I asked the kids “Do you want to make mini pumpkin pies?” and they yelled “Yes!” So, we got out… Continue reading Pumpkin Pies in a Muffin Tin

I think we can all agree that there is… Continue reading The Best Way to Clean and Roast Perfect Pumpkin Seeds

Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler

Shame on me. I should know myself better by now than to make something titled “Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler” when I am 5 months pregnant and eating everything in sight. Seriously. It’s like I want to gain 65 lbs. My brother’s lovely girlfriend Lexie sent me the pin on pinterest, knowing that I would want it… Continue reading Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler

Black Bean and Steak Chili

This is one of my very favorite chili recipes.  The best part is that you chop up two – yes, TWO things, and then you just throw everything else into the crockpot for the day.  No meat browning, no bean soaking.  It’s a simple, delicious, and very hearty chili. Serve it up with some cornbread,… Continue reading Black Bean and Steak Chili
